David Brooks Really Doesn't Like Ted Cruz

I bet Ted doesn't have as sharp a crease in his pants as Brooks.

Quote
And Ted Cruz, the senator from Canada through Texas, is basically not a legislator in the normal sense...

Quote
They’re not normal members of Congress. They’re not legislators. They want to stop things.

Quote
And the second thing they’re doing, which is alarming a lot of Republicans, is they’re running against their own party,” he continued. “Ted Cruz is running against Republicans in the Senate. The House Republican Tea Party types are running against the Republican establishment.

Quote
And taking this down, if it can mobilize enough Republicans so he can take over the party and become — really transform the party, then that becomes the object.

I truly despise the Brookses in the GOP.  They are the problem, but don;t know it.

I think I will be sure to send Cruz an emailed attaboy tomorrow.

Given how much Brooksie loved the current incompetent who inhabits the White House, this does nothing but increase my opinion of Mr. Cruz.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Reading the article in the linked post makes me VERY glad I voted for Ted Cruz.  =D

Brooks seems to be worried that if Ted Cruz and other conservatives prevail, the GOP will no longer be Democrat Lite, but will become a real conservative alternative.

Curious how an establishment drone (Brooks) finds fault with the one senator who owes establishment republicans nothing but contempt.  Cruz beat the republican establishment as well as democrats and that can not go unchallenged.  Cruz is dangerous to establishment republicans.

Sorry, I was making a joke about the "quality" of Mr. Brooks and using that to judge Mr. Cruz...

The district where I live in Michigan has Justin Amash as our rep in the house.  He's libertarian.  He is a principaled legislator who follows the Constitution.  He posts all of his votes and why he voted that way on his Facebook page.  He's got every libtard in our district with their panties in a bunch.  Fun watching them foam at the mouth.  Morons.

Not impressed with social media as a way to communicate with his constituents.  Waytogo to telling the peeps why he voted the way he did.

Bill O'Reilly doesn't like Cruz either.  He just had a segment just to criticize Cruz.

Yeah ... Cruz heard that and ran into his office and started bawling.  [popcorn]
